Key responsibilities include:
  • Providing professional customer service via phone, email and face-to-face enquiries.
  • Processing and maintaining planning applications and records within council databases.
  • Preparing correspondence and responding to enquiries relating to planning applications and permit processes.
  • Supporting statutory planning processes and ensuring administrative tasks are completed in line with legislative requirements.
About You:
  • Experience in administration or customer service, ideally within a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • A general understanding of statutory planning or local government processes will be highly regarded.
  • Experience using systems such as GIS, CRM, CiA or similar databases is advantageous but not essential.
If you're looking to join a supportive team, develop your local government career and contribute to the delivery of quality planning services, we'd love to hear from you.
